Hi there

I'm wanting to use a Linux USB bootable system to fix a bunch of Windows Bitlocker-ed laptops. I have their Recovery keys, so I can "magically" mount their disks fine, but I want to write that key back to the disk, so that when the end-users next boot into Windows, it will succeed - not asking them for the Recovery key. Then Win10/Win11 systems will automatically reset the TPM relationship, delete the cleartext Recovery key and "work as normal" afterwards. This is purely an "usability improvement" to remove the end-user effort of typing in a 40+ char Recover key - would be nice to have...

...and yes there may be a relationship with the current Crowdstrike debacle...

Thanks!
Jason
